Turning things off or unplugging things not in use, is very much a good thing! Not only in conserving in energy, but saving you quite a bit on your electric bills month after month! And not to say, makes your home safer from Fires in your home!

Keeping everything plugged in for easy use, for most have been a life time habit, but it's also a very bad habit. And truely is a waste of money towards your electric bill too. The fact is laziness comes at a price. Most everything today that runs on electricity has made made with components that actually start the product up instantly, well them components are constantly wasting electricity even when you turn or push the off button!

So the best way to the solution of the electric waste, is to purchase a multi plug surge unit and plug the things you always have plugged in, but don't use as much. And turn the main off switch off on the surge multi plug unit when not using things much plugged into it, because it will also protect your electrical products from electric surges and in bad weather days! Plus you will be doing your part in saving energy and saving on your electric bill besides. It's a win, win all the way around!

The fact is, getting angry over saving some good money off your electric bill isn't going to help your electric use costs. Electric rates are always going up and in part mostly because all the consumers waste of electricity. If you don't mind your elctric bill constantly costing you more and more each month, then do nothing to save on your bill. There are many people that are tired of paying big bucks out month after month for there electric bill!

And a study just released a few months ago, stated that if you have major appliances tha are over 6 years old, there really wasting aot of electricity and making your electric bill much higher, then if you had all up to date today's New energy Efficient appliances! And if your one of thoses, that ran out and bought one of thoses big HD TV's, I got bad news for you! They eat up 3 to 8 times more electricity then the regular TV's we've all used before HD TV came along. And the bigger you bought of the HD TV's the much more electricity it is gobbling up! So you may be excited you finally bought one, but you won't be excited about the increase of your electric bill it will make for you!

( The regular TV's had life spans of up to 25 years, the new HD TV's life spans is around 8 years! And they cost much higher then regular TV's)

Thanks for your time,
Dave Mc G.

By cutting back on all our usuages of water,electric and gas! Does that guarantee a huge price drop in are rates on all our monthly bills??? Hell no!!! When the big gas, electric and water Companies start being fair about things and quit being so greedy and money hungry! Then maybe customers will be a little more respondent to there hollow crys of waste!!!]]>Oct 31st 2007 11:12PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/31/five-percent-of-u-s-electricity-wasted-by-vampire-electronics/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/31/five-percent-of-u-s-electricity-wasted-by-vampire-electronics/

I really believe a begining to help the global warming is not to throw the problem to us little people, but to all the companies that make so much variety of electronics, gadgits constantly, Do we all really need all that stuff in the first place, sure everyone wants the stuff when it hits the market, but we don't need it!!!

And I really feel if there are many products out there to help on the global warming, Why is it so costly to consumers to buy and use??? If they really wanted us all to help, wouldn't you think it would be a lot cheapier so many would go out and purchase them to help!!! they say plant trees to help fight pollution! yeah that would help wonders, but at $30 and up a piece, sure can't afford to plant to many! Why don't that tell the growers and sellers to drop there prices way down so we could all plant lots of trees, But see I think it all boils down to, lets all go green, the consumers and empty our bank accounts in the process! it isn't fair to us little people, just the business owners rake in all the glory! Things have to be changed on that side of the fence first, before we all can take action on the Big BREEN!]]>Mar 28th 2009 3:54PM
